What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Leo or Virgo, the Warm Heart

    Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.

    The Moon trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth after 2:16 p.m., his Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. His taste and his appetite for more need adjusting: he keeps learning what is enough.

    Venus quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

    Mercury square Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
